    "It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
    --Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    "Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold."
    --Yeats

    “True, we [lawyers] build no bridges. We raise no towers. We construct no engines. We paint no pictures - unless as amateurs for our own principal amusement. There is little of all that we do which the eye of man can see. But we smooth out difficulties; we relieve stress; we correct mistakes; we take up other men's burdens and by our efforts we make possible the peaceful life of men in a peaceful state.”

    --John W. Davis, founder of Davis Polk & Wardwell

    “It only ends once. Anything that happens before that is just progress.”

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    I really want to see what Scalley and crew have cooked up to disrupt Cal's aerial circus. With our OL, Moss and Shyne, I think we'll try to suck them into the box to stop the run, then let Troy and the WRs come in for the kill shot.

    I think Cal probably is reeling a little. That game at Tempe they seemed to have control of, but they let the Devils off the hook. Dykes is a brilliant offensive coach, but I think their fanbase is unconvinced, even with the win over Texas.

    Our dramatic win over USC has done wonders for the psyche of the offense, and the defense will be ready to reclaim their post as the strength of the team. Overall, I think we hold a modest psychological edge that should negate the home field advantage.

    We'll see!

    Cal will get a couple of late garbage time touchdowns.
    One thing I have learned in a long life: that all our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike -- and yet it is the most precious thing we have.

    --Albert Einstein

    The fact that life evolved out of nearly nothing, some 10 billion years after the universe evolved out of literally nothing, is a fact so staggering that I would be mad to attempt words to do it justice.

    Utah isn't good enough to run the table, so the question is when will they stumble? My head says this game is a good bet, but, my heart won't let me predict a loss until after one happens.

    In honor of the Stevenson Sylvester photo in the "this or that" thread, I'll take Utah with the same score as in the 2009 Poinsettia Bowl vs Cal, where Sylvester was defensive MVP.
